Best Practices for Machine Learning-Assisted Protein Engineering.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Data-driven modeling based on machine learning (ML) is becoming a central component of protein engineering workflows. This perspective presents the elements necessary to develop effective, reliable, and reproducible ML models, and a set of guidelines...

Deep learning-guided rational engineering of synergistic PD-1 and LAG-3 blockade for enhanced tumor immunomodulation.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Evolution has optimized proteins over time by the incorporation of precise and context-specific amino acid substitutions adapted to structural and functional demands. We have reconceptualized this principle using deep learning to engineer monoclonal ...

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Design of Robust Enzymes to Enhance Their Performance.

ACS synthetic biology
The booming artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides an opportunity to precisely carry out design of enzymes and create new biocatalysts with significantly enhanced performance. In the past decade, successful enzyme design cases, although t...

Kideraspa: designing variants of staphylococcal protein a based on a diffusion model with kidera factors.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
The interaction between staphylococcal protein A (SpA) and human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is pivotal in treating diseases such as cancer, inflammation, infections, and autoimmune disorders. However, acquiring natural SpA variants is labor-intensive, tr...

AI-Guided Hydrophobic Core Design of Robust Six-Helix Bundle Proteins.

ACS nano
α-Helical domains are widespread and versatile, yet typically fail under low mechanical load because backbone hydrogen bonds unzip sequentially, limiting their use in force-bearing nanomaterials and molecular devices. We present an AI-guided strategy...

Engineering enhanced signal peptides: A high-throughput computational pipeline for optimizing therapeutic protein production in CHO cells.

New biotechnology
Rational design of signal peptides (SPs), crucial for efficient therapeutic protein secretion in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, remains challenging due to their context-dependency activity. To overcome this limitation and enable the discovery of ...

ANABAG: Annotated Antibody-Antigen Data Set with Unique Features for Antibody Engineering Applications.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The analysis and prediction of antibody-antigen (Ab-Ag) interactions often overlook critical structural features such as glycosylation and important physicochemical conditions like pH and salt concentration. Additionally, the field lacks standardized...

GeoEvoBuilder: A deep learning framework for efficient functional and thermostable protein design.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
While deep learning has advanced protein sequence and function design, engineering highly active and stable proteins still requires labor-intensive iterative computational design and experimentation. There is a critical need for methods capable of di...

ProT-VAE: Protein Transformer Variational AutoEncoder for functional protein design.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Deep generative models have demonstrated success in learning the protein sequence to function relationship and designing synthetic sequences with engineered functionality. We introduce the Protein Transformer Variational AutoEncoder (ProT-VAE) as an ...

Deep-Learning-Guided Mining and Clustering of Remote Amino Acid Residues for the Simultaneous Engineering of the Catalytic Activity and Thermostability of a Processive Endoglucanase.

ACS synthetic biology
Processive endoglucanases, which possess both endo- and exoglucanase activities, are considered highly promising catalysts in cellulose degradation. In this study, we employed multiple deep learning models, including MutCompute, DeepSequence, and ESM...
